Synergistic Effects of Lavandula angustifolia and a Bacterial Consortium on Bioremediation of a Heavy Metal-Contaminated Soil

mycolabadmin

This study demonstrates how planting lavender combined with beneficial soil bacteria can effectively clean industrial contaminated soil. Over 90 days, this combined approach significantly reduced toxic lead and tin in the soil while improving overall soil health. The lavender plant works synergistically with the bacteria to create an ideal environment for metal removal and soil recovery, offering a sustainable and cost-effective alternative to traditional soil cleanup methods.

Arbuscular Mycorrhizal and Trichoderma longibrachiatum Enhance Soil Quality and Improve Microbial Community Structure in Albic Soil Under Straw Return

mycolabadmin

Researchers found that combining two beneficial soil fungi—arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and Trichoderma longibrachiatum—significantly improved poor quality albic soils when straw was returned to fields. The combined treatment increased soil pH, nutrients, and enzyme activity while promoting beneficial bacteria like Sphingomonas. This microbial approach offers farmers a sustainable, environmentally friendly way to restore degraded soils and improve agricultural productivity in regions with challenging soil conditions.
